We're down to only five contestants on American Idol, and it's anyone's game to win. With only a few weeks left in the competition, who will shine and win over America? Stay with Digital Spy live from 8/7c to find out.

21:56I actually got chills from that performance - it was hands down my favourite of the night. Nicki calls it "simply perfection" and really hopes that America gets to see inside Amber because she doesn't get the credit she deserves. She applauds her for holding it like a classy diva should, and compares her to a young Whitney Houston. Randy thinks it was the most difficult song to sing in the whole season and she did it perfectly.

Mariah calls it classic, beautiful and elegant and says that if America doesn't get it, there's something wrong with them all. "You're potentially a massive star. Thank you for this performance!" she adds. Keith agrees about the difficulty and dubs it elegant and beautiful, saying that she knocked it out of the park. Without a doubt!

21:53Last but not least, it's Amber's turn for her diva track, and she's chosen Barbra Streisand's 'What Are You Doing the Rest Of Your Life?' and wow, what a great choice. She's absolutely effortless with the vocals and sounds incredible - she's definitely redeemed herself from the first performance and just sounds amazing. I love listening to her voice... so, so good. What a great way to end the evening.

21:46Keith dubs her "definitely top three", while Nicki notes that she's "definitely back" and thinks that Angie did the song justice "like a queen could". Beyoncé's going to watch the performance as well, according to Nicki. Randy notes that she's "in it to win it" tonight, and Mariah knows how difficult it is to do a Bey song since she has such a specific way about it. Still, Angie's rendition showed off a clarity in her voice, and because of it, she's here to stay.

21:44Angie's diva track is Beyoncé's 'Halo' and while I like Angie, I gotta say... girl, no. No-one can do Beyoncé. It's a nice effort and her voice sounds okay, but it's like a really good high school talent show performance and doesn't even hold a candle to the original. I'm also getting a little annoyed at how every single song she does - while in her own unique "style" - sounds exactly the same. I get that they like her at the piano, but come on. It's getting ridiculous and repetitive.

21:37Keith thought it was a beautiful song choice and that she sounded completely natural, and we'll have to pretend the other judges thought the same thing because I had some computer issues and didn't hear what they were saying for a minute there. Kree is amazing, though, so no doubt they said as much.

21:34Thank God for Kree, who's chosen Celine Dion's 'Have You Ever Been In Love' as her diva song. I love Celine Dion! She does it absolutely brilliantly, of course, and it's a great choice for her. I truly think there's not a single genre Kree can't do and sound really amazing with.

21:25Keith doesn't know if he'd pick 'Dumb Blonde' as one of Dolly Parton's best songs and wishes she could have shown off the uniqueness of her voice and shine, but she didn't. Ah, well. Nicki wants to be careful with everything she says to the Top 5 because they all have "superpowers" and need to know that they're great.

Having said that, she thinks Janelle's in jeopardy of going home tomorrow night. Well, that softens the blow. However, her smile and internal light makes her lovable. Too bad that's not enough to save her.

21:24Randy loves Dolly Parton and thinks it was a "fun" song for her even if it didn't show anything different vocally speaking - there was more performing than there was good singing. Mariah hears what Randy is saying but she loves Dolly Parton and thinks this was "pow" because she was connected to the song. Uh, what are you trying to say, Mariah? She says it was cute and "fiery" but urges her to let America hear her "chops".

21:21Janelle's chosen diva is Dolly Parton, who's fantastic. She'll be singing 'Dumb Blonde', which is a great song. Can she redeem herself after that boring performance earlier? Well, it's certainly more uptempo and automatically more exciting to watch. It's pretty good, in fact, and actually probably one of Janelle's best performances. The vocals aren't amazing, but it at least has a bit more energy to it.

21:15Mariah thinks she could sing anything, anywhere, and is emotional because she misses Whitney. She is proud of Candice and thinks she did the song great justice. Keith loved watching Mariah while Candice was performing because she could tell that the women support each other. He also says that Candice "ripped them out and annihilated them" - her vocal cords, I assume!

21:14Nicki is a fan, saying, "That is how you do a Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston song!" before adding that she remembers listening to that song as a kid and crying as she watched Mariah and Whitney performing it over and over because she believed in the words. She brings it up because she believes Candice represents something bigger than her talent. Randy thinks she's "in the zone" and knows that she can do this because she has one of the best voices in the known world.

21:10Right, it's time for round two, and now we're going with the songs of DIVAAAAAAAS! (I said that like Oprah would say her own name, if you can picture it.) Candice is up first again, and she's doing 'When You Believe' by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. She's developed a relationship with Mariah, and even though she swore before the season started that she wouldn't do one of her tracks, she's changed her mind. Thank God she did, as well - she sound great and is probably the only singer on the show that could do this particular song any justice. She's just great. She's another one who will easily get signed even if she doesn't win.

21:02Randy admits that it wasn't perfect but gives her "mad props", as he doesn't know how Amber could perform the song in front of the original artist. Aside from a few parts, he thinks she did a "damn good job". Mariah herself exclaims "yes, yes, yes!" and urges America to vote for Amber before sharing that her mother used to sing her that song as a child before she grew up to make it a hit. Mariah generally loves to hear Amber in her higher register but thinks she made some great choices that she herself would steal.

21:00Keith thinks it was "beautiful" and that her singing has grown leaps and bounds in the past several weeks. He thought it was a great choice for her and applauds her for letting the notes "bloom" at the end. Well, I guess I was wrong about the judges hating it. Nicki has been her fan since the beginning but since Mariah's song is so iconic, Amber lacked feeling, perhaps because she was nervous about performing in front of her.

20:57Now it's Amber Holcomb's turn, and seriously, what the hell, she was born in 1994, too? How are these people so young?! Anyway, Amber's singing 'Without You' - Mariah Carey's version naturally. She seems to hiccup on the lyrics in the very beginning before hitting her stride, and she's great but I've definitely heard her do better, that's for sure. The key the song is in is a low one, and while she can do it, it's not her best key. There's something missing for Amber tonight, which is a shame. I don't think the judges are going to like this too much. I know I don't.

20:48Nicki is glad that she chose to play the piano because she looks more comfortable - probably because she was behind the piano. Nicki also thinks it's a really smart decision personally and professionally to be dedicating a song to Boston. Uh... tacky! Randy points out what a difficult Top 5 it is this year since everyone is so good. "I think you're on your way, man. I really do!" he tells her.

20:47Mariah thinks it was a "beautiful dedication" (since Angie's from Boston). She also likes The Pretenders and loves the songwriting and edge that Chrissie Hynde represented, adding that Angie could look to her for inspiration and advancement in her career. Keith agrees that it was a lovely dedication and enjoys seeing her at the piano and making such good song choices. However, he wants to see her soften the edges and get slightly looser. He also admits to wanting to cry every time he hears a particular tone in her voice. Huh.

20:44Next up, it's Angie Miller, who was born sometime in the mid-'90s and now I REALLY feel old. She's singing 'I'll Stand By You' by The Pretenders, which blows my mind because I totally thought that song came out earlier than 1994. Angie's at the piano for this performance, which usually wins the judges over but is totally boring me. The arrangement is in the wrong key for her voice for the first verse and once she gets going, it sounds better but still kinda boring. Definitely not a winning performance, as good as I think she is. I've seen her do way better.

20:36Keith agrees with Mariah, adding that he's always been a big fan of Kree's and takes into account that she's on TV and has a lot to memorise, which accounts for the few hiccups during her performances (which he notes she won't have to deal with in her concerts). Nicki disagrees with Keith and Mariah, saying only that it was the best performance of the night by far (in a bizarre English accent that's really, really bad).

20:34Randy loves Kree, her voice and all the "naturalness" in her spirit and voice. He also appreciates that even though she's generally a country artist, she has a natural blues/soul element to her voice. It may not have been technically flawless, but emotionally it was. Mariah thinks she can sing anything and she loves listening to Kree. She feels like Kree loses herself in song but wonders if she felt like she had to perform tonight, which she understands.

20:31My girl Kree Harrison is up next and she's doing 'She Talks To Angels' by The Black Crowes, which is unexpected (and she's totally aware of it). Unsurprisingly, she still makes it her own in a way that's completely originally and really, really good. Talk about effortless singing. She's just a professional through and through. Regardless of whether or not she wins, she'll get a record deal, and I can't wait. Love her!

20:22Mariah "believed" Janelle as an artist during that song, adding that she could see her singing with her "whole heart", making it "raw and real". She tells Janelle to keep hold of that confidence and not let anyone else take it away from her. Keith is the only one who heard something different. He loves the song - which is "all emotion" - and says that she did technically well on getting all the notes right, but he just didn't feel it.

20:21Nicki enjoys seeing Janelle with her guitar as she seems more comfortable than usual and wants to persuade her to perform more with it since when she doesn't have it, she seems to overcompensate. Nicki also thinks she sounds "pretty and angelic" tonight and didn't care about anyone else. Randy feels like the song brought her back a little and that she did a really great job with it. He agrees with Nicki - she seemed comfortable and should stick with that kind of performance.

20:18Janelle Arthur is up next, and she was born in 1989, which really makes me feel old. Her first song is Vince Gill's 'When I Call Your Name', since apparently his voice was the only thing that could get her to stop crying as a baby. Aw, cute story. However, she's gotta be the next one to go, right? She just doesn't hold a candle to the other girls left in the competition. She sounds good here, but the song is droll and about as exciting as watching paint dry.

20:10Randy loves the "cool" arrangement, which made everything sound more current. He also enjoys seeing her "in the zone", relaxing and having more fun - she's feeling where she should be and not thinking too much about it. Mariah calls her "genius" and thinks no one else could do what she did with the song. She then spontaneously erupts into applause.

20:09Keith thinks it was "so good" and a "great" rendition of the song, which he never realised was so great. Wow, we're being descriptive tonight. He applauds her "beautiful control of the runs" (LOL, runs) and how she moves in and out of her falsetto, which is effortless. Nicki congratulates her for making it to the Top 5, especially after trying out last year and not making it. She thinks the performance showed that Candice is "the boss" and agrees with Keith that the song is great.

20:05There are two themes tonight - songs from the singers' year of birth and then divas. Without further ado, Candice Glover is up first. From her birth year, she's chosen Paula Abdul's 'Straight Up' because she can actually do her own thing with it - and indeed she does, turning it into a jazzy, soulful number that's right up her alley. She sounds great... totally on point, but I have to admit this isn't my favourite performance of hers. She still sounds incredible, though. You can't argue with that voice.

20:04Before we get started with the performances this week, Ryan takes a minute to send his thoughts and prayers out to Boston after the explosions on Monday and vows that everyone will put on the best show possible with heavy hearts. Ten seconds later, it's time to introduce the finalists. In case you've forgotten, it's Kree Harrison, Amber Holcomb, Candice Glover, Angie Miller and Janelle Arthur.

20:02It's hard to believe we're down to only five contestants on this season of American Idol, but definitely not hard to believe that they're all girls. It's a girl's year this year! In any case, it seems like the competition has been flying since the interminable audition weeks, and here we are with just a few more rounds to go. It's hard to say who has my vote, but I think it's gotta be Kree... or Amber, maybe? No, Kree. I think.
